A company run by Jack Ta, who boasted of “cosy” dinners with former Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton, has been used by more than a dozen drug offenders to remain in Australia on bogus asylum seeker claims.

The revelations come as Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil declared the nation’s immigration system broken and signalled an independent review into what she called systemic failures, including in the migration agents sector, that have allowed overseas criminals to remain in Australia.Authorities have linked Ta’s migration agency to dozens of unmeritorious asylum seeker claims, including at least 15 made by convicted Vietnamese drug offenders.

“Home Affairs Minister Mr Peter Dutton was still in great form, and we also exchanged what family, business and indispensably, vehicles, are all about.”There is no suggestion that Dutton or Wood knew that Ta’s company had been used by criminals. Investigators linked Ta’s office to the applications by analysing IP addresses, according to sources who are not authorised to speak publicly.It is a breach of the migrant agent’s code to knowingly assist a person make a false visa claim, for a migration agent to fail to declare their involvement in a visa claim, or to claim a “special or privileged relationship” with any government official.

The suspect activity of Ta’s Australia-wide migration business has occurred over a period of several years, during which Ta– like many migration agents– posed with multiple politicians and posted the photos on his social media accounts that also advertise his migration business.

More lies

Time to clean house AusFedPolice. Can you get it done?

On the face of it Australia's immigration system seems tough, but many know it's just a paper tiger full of holes and easy to exploit.

More LNP greasing of the palm🤔

PeterDutton_MP ... was Jason Wood selling visas for donations? No wonder LNP long opposed an ICAC for federal politicians 🙄 Looking forward to an explanation. Of course Lib friends at newscorpaus were sleeping while this went on.

Two crooked ex-cops

Read the article, not just the headline; have a look at who else Jack Ta was photographed with!

So Dutton is coming to talk about African gangs again right?

Dutton and co only partial to the colour of money

Omg I’m shocked …said no one EVER auspol

Pathetic attempt to smear Dutton

Colour me shocked.

What a smear: it is quite obvious, no direct link between the the law violations (if any) and Peter Dutton You aren't journalists but political activists

Let’s hope the new government cleans this up quickly

So Ageinvestigates what is the LSBC_Victoria doing about this?

Omg I’m shocked … said no one EVER auspol

Presumably all the people enraged about the herald-sun story on Andrews today will be as outraged by this. No? Thought not. Hypocrisy is never a problem for the left
